About WICHE
The Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) and its 15 member states – Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming – work collaboratively to expand educational access and excellence for all citizens of the West. By promoting innovation, cooperation, resource sharing, and sound public policy among states and institutions, WICHE strengthens higher education’s contributions to the region’s social, economic, and civic life. Our programs – Student Exchange, WCET (Western Cooperative for Educational Telecommunications), Policy Analysis and Research, and Mental Health – are working to find answers to some of the most critical questions facing higher education today.
